Because it is the end of summer and I am bored, I thought we should play a game. What would it be like if two Broadway shows collided and a show was performed based on that.

For example: Miss Saigon and M. Butterfly

Rene Gallimard could sing "I Still Believe"
Song Liling could sing "The American Dream"

How 'bout THE LIFE and HELLO, DOLLY! The hookers could sing "I Put My Hand In". :)

The Life collides with Oklahoma

Jud would sing "It's My Way or the Highway"
Laurey would sing "He's No Good"
Ado Annie would sing "The Oldest Profession"
Ali Hakim would sing "Going to the Hooker's Ball"

Allowing for movie musicals..

I saw we combine Mary Poppins and Sweeney Todd..

"Children.. meet your new Nanny!"

Craig, I like that. Suddenly children are missing all over London and the Banks family has just opened a tea and crumpet shop.

Well times is hard since Banks lost his job at the bank....

Let's go fly a kite becomes "Let's go bake a pie"..


How about combining The Music Man and Man of La Mancha to make The Music Man of La Mancha in where a travelling salesman in prison recalls his darling Marian and the time he won her over in Iowa...

How about changing the whole mood of a show by swapping songs:

In Annie, replace "Tomorrow" with "The Day After That" from Spiderwoman.

In Secret Garden, replace "Come to My Garden" with "The Garden Path to Hell" from Drood.

In Rent, replace "Le Vie Boheme" with "Ma Vie en Rose."

and the finale to Hairspray could be "You'll never Walk Alone" instead of You Can't Stop the Beat? wow.. that would be different

What about when Sweeny Todd mixes with A Chorus Line

Sweeny sings "Nothing"
Mrs. Lovett sings "What I Did For Love"
Toby sings "Hello Twelve, Hello Thirteen"
Joanna sings "Dance Ten Looks Three"
Anthony sings "I Hope I Get It"
Pirelli sings "God I'm A Dancer"

If Gypsy and Chicago collided....

"You gotta have a gimmick when you're good to Mama"

"All I care about is Rose"

"If Mama was married... he had it comin"

"Everything's coming up Roses nowadays"

"Razzle dazzle em, and they'll let me entertain you"

"Baby June and her Newsboys: They BOTH reached for the gun!"

"Caroline the Cow... and all that jazz"

"I can't do it alone, Mr Goldstone"
